Short answer
You can make table centrepieces, place cards, favours, signage, bunting, and order of service booklets. These crafts add a personal touch and can be made well ahead of the day.
Start with simple projects that save money and feel personal. Table centrepieces work well with jam jars, ribbon, and flowers you arrange yourself. Place cards can be handwritten on card or folded paper. Favours might be homemade jam, biscuits, or seed packets with a thank-you tag.
Signage is another good craft. Welcome boards, table plan boards, and directional signs can be made with painted wood, chalkboard paint, or framed card. Bunting in your colour scheme is easy to sew or glue from fabric triangles. Order of service booklets can be printed at home and folded.
Think about what you can store and transport. Make things that are sturdy and easy to set up. Ask friends or family to help with a crafting afternoon. Keep your designs simple so they look neat and match your theme. Avoid anything too fiddly that will cause stress close to the day.
